How dare they?
This is an insult to us all.
-
that is ****ing ugly
-
I know it's bad, but there's no f**king need to swear.
Anyway, what's the plotline going to be for HW2? Will it follow on from Cataclysm? or not?
-
I think it's something like 100 years after Cataclysm/Homeworld. The Hiigarans are still going thru lots of turmoil, and then some baddies show up from deep space wielding the power of the "ancients". Check out HW2 shipyards for more info and some screenshots of the new ships.
EDIT: Here's the link to the shipyards: http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/

If it's 100 years after, why have they still got the Mothership?
-
im f*kin training to be f*kning american got a f*king problem with that ? :D
seriously it sucks moneyballz
well the mothership is still great ? has ben refitted ?
sry dunno im not the 3rd comming :(
-
Here's some quoted info:
"The story is epic in scope. The player will unravel some of the secrets of the Homeworld universe such as the origins of Hyperspace and the fate of the Bentusi." - Dan Irish, Executive Producer
"While we're keeping the story under wraps at the moment, there are some things that we'd like to add into it, such as why the Hiigarans were exiled in the first place? Who are the Bentusi and why are they always showing up? Where did Hyperspace come from?" - Josh Mosquiera, Lead Designer
and....
From the Inner Rim, the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy wielding the power of the ancients. Homeworld 2 focuses on the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew. This journey takes the Hiigarans into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and learn the truth behind their exile. In Homeworld, the Exiles reclaimed their home. In Homeworld 2, they reclaim their destiny.
Oh, BTW, the ships, at least look uber-****ing kewl! :D
:yes:

Perhaps they consider it not respectful to dismantle it to salvagable parts? Didn't they use it as a shipyard in Cataclysm anyway? I guess it still works 100 years later.
-
I'll beleive you, and yes it was used as a shipyard in Cat.
I've just been browsing the shipyards (thanks, UT) and this game will ROCK!
Why do so many great game have to come out? Why? I have no money and are too lazy to get a job!
-
Actually, if anyone hasn't realized it yet, that's Karan Sjet.
BTW, a new feature is the ability to add custom decals to your ships.
-
Karan S'Jet unpluggen herself after the Hiigaran planetfall. She died I believe.
-
Nope, the ending cutscene said she survived.
Oh, another thing: has anyone looked at the Vagyr page yet? Apparantly, they're going to have a Goat-Throwing-Viking Ship. Check it out, lol.

Woa. Those dildo cruisers again...

Hmm, I dunno... If I were you, I'd wait for what I have in store for "The Sequel" script tommorow. You might like it. :D
Though the one with the bare ass is good. ;7

Yes you can. Seduce one of the admins. It always works.

Didn't mean to derail the topic that much... Sorry...
Back on-topic now children.

Do you think they'll beat the story line of the first two games?

You won't put this into the sequel right? Riiiiight? Don't look at me like this. I'm warning you - I can use my 1337 elf powers.

Back to the topic.

What he said, only considering the rate we get games here in Estonia, it'll probably be the latter.
-
This thread just keeps getting derailed and back on topic...
:nervous: Right.
That box art is pretty ugly.
-
Dang. I think it's pretty neat.
I'm different...

Well it might work on me I guess but she's on a totally different landmass, still you're welcome to try Tiara. ;7 ;)
On a more 'on topic' (oh God I've re-railed the thread!) note doesn't Relic make the most beautiful textures? It's always been one of my major criticisms of Freespace that those grey tiles just aren't very interesting to look at, relic makes a work of art every time it designs a ship. This is on top of my must buy list.

Siddons?

1. Karan S'Jet is alive and well. She is back in HW2 as fleet command (again).
2. That box art isn't final. It's only the initial design while the final art is being sorted out, though it might still be some form of head style C&C shot. No one can say at this point (that came from a relic dev ;) ).
3. The Goat throwing Viking Ship is a joke that dates back to the pre-days of HW's development.
4. HW2 will rule, as such you will bow down before this game and worship it.
5. elorran is always right (even though he's half left).
6. Any more questions?

eh? If you are referring to the first Homeworld, that was actually my major criticism as far as the graphics went. In my opinion the ship models were pretty good, but the textures were, well, terrible; they looked like just randomly colored dots and lines and didn't seem to have any depth or anything to them, a far cry from the FS2 texturing.
-
FS2 will still have a few ups on even the new homeworld engine in the major form of lighting application. Beam glow textures and the glows themselves in FS2 still won't be as good in HW2 as they are in FS2 in my opinion.
I'd just like to see a pulsing ion beam carve through another ship in HW.

Not bad, how bout' that becomes the HW2 Box art?;7;)
-
The game isn't even close to being gold yet. You think thats going to be even close to a final box yet? Not a chance. Months if not a good year away from being a final box art :)
-
I'd say it's a 'placeholder'.
-
Actually Ice HW2 is set for release around July of this year. Though there is a little rumour that it might get pushed back to October 03, but not much there after.
-
It's release had better conincide with me recieveing a LOT of money.
